It's easier to go down a hill than up it but the view is much better at the top.~Henry Ward Beecher

Our Fabulous coaches and mentors!

April 3, 2010
Week # 8 (10 miles)

Today marks two months of training! Today, I became “one with the Miami bridge”, as I walked over it 6 times (3 return trips). My training began at 5:45 A.M, which meant that my alarm clocked buzzed in my ear at 4:30! We did not meet at Kennedy Park; we met at Wainright Park because today was just “hill/bridge work”. On my first trek over the Miami hill, I felt as if I was not moving- I attributed that to not having a stretch of flat terrain to get the legs adjusted to walking. Don’t really know. What I do know: I felt as if I was in blessed land once we started our down hill walk. What sweet relief! It got better as I made the other trips back and forth. Today’s training culminated with breakfast at a lovely restaurant in Coconut Grove. Thanks to Neville for treating us to the much needed nourishment!

My love and gratitude to all of you who have contributed toward my fundraising goal. I truly appreciate your kindness. Without your generosity, it would have taken me much longer to reach my goal.

Many thanks to my friend Shanti, who after meeting her goal of $3,000.00, campaigned actively to help me get to mine.

My readers, it is now my turn to assist my other teammates. I am kindly asking you to send me an e-mail at celebrating_life@hotmail.com and I will respond with the web pages of my teammates to whom you can donate.

Please continue to send me your positive thoughts and energy!
